Paired with her Athens Olympics mount, the 12-year-old Baden-Wurttemberger gelding Proton, Ishoy received a score of 69.00% for her qualifying points. Third place is held by Jon Costin of Puslinch, Ont. He has 13 points.

Following the Dressage Canada Canadian League World Cup criteria, a rider/horse combination earns points based on their results in Grand Prix Freestyle classes at CDI-W, CDI3* and Equine Canada National competitions. Standings are updated throughout the year as declared riders collect points and can be viewed at www.dressagecanada.org.

Traditionally held at the Royal Agricultural Winter Fair, this year’s Canadian League World Cup Final is scheduled for Nov. 8 – 10.
